Armed Security Guards

Protecting What Matters

If you’re considering armed security, chances are that you are responsible for the protection of a business or a worksite, as well as for the safety of the people who work in and around that location. Whether it’s a busy apartment complex, a one-register gift shop at the mall, or a bustling construction zone, you have a lot to consider when it comes to security. While security systems and monitoring services are a good first line of protection, nothing beats the assurance of having an armed security guard present at your site.

People have turned to many security solutions over the years. There are high-tech electronic alarm systems backed up by twenty-four-hour monitoring services. We’ve got new biometric locks and shatter-proof windows. Despite all of these advancements in security solutions, the armed security guard remains one of the most reliable and effective security solutions.

Why You Need an Armed Security Officer

Securing businesses and job sites have always been a concern for business owners and managers. In these times of rapid growth and change, the need for armed security guards is, unfortunately, more urgent than ever. Whether your business is in need of twenty-four-hour security coverage, or you just need a guard on hand at certain critical times, an armed security guard is your best solution.

Armed guards provide both a preemptive deterrent and active response to threats. Most would-be troublemakers will simply look for another business to threaten if they see an armed security guard on the premises. If a criminal does target your business without regard to the presence of security, you will have the comfort of knowing that you have an active response system. You won’t be relying on a passive alarm or monitoring service. Instead, you will have “boots on the ground” to actively respond to a threat—even if that means the appropriate use of physical force.

The armed security guard must be highly trained, and as a result can provide many other benefits to your overall security program. They can respond to threats, take preemptive action to prevent future threats, and work with you to cater their security offerings to your specific needs. An armed guard can do this. A computerized security system cannot.

Benefits of Hiring an Armed Guard

Hiring an armed security comes with many benefits. Most of our customers understand that ultimate safety can only come from having a guard onsite that carries a weapon. The presence of an armed guard offers a deterrent that other security systems and unarmed guards don’t provide. Just the visual of a weapon can deter most would-be troublemakers. Also, armed guards can respond directly to threats, rather than taking a more reactionary role. Nobody wants to think about using force to protect their business, but an armed guard is the only person who can safely provide that level of security.

It is also important to understand that armed guards are placed under more scrutiny than their unarmed counterparts, due to their possession of controlled weapons. Because of this fact, our armed guards require and receive even more extensive training, background checks, screening, and certification than our unarmed personnel.

All of these factors should be taken into consideration when deciding what security solution is best for you. Your situation is unique, and your security solutions should be unique as well.
